Are there any keyboard shortcuts to switch between tabs in terminal?

Select Next Tab: ⌘+} (selects the tab to the right of your current tab)

Select Previous Tab: ⌘+{ (select the tab to the left of your current tab)

These are the shortcuts listed under the Window menu, but I think it would make more sense to say ⌘+⇧+], since that's actually what you type.

Since there are menu items that these shortcuts trigger, you can use System Preferences-> Keyboard-> Keyboard Shortcuts-> Application Shortcuts to reassign the shortcuts to whatever you want:

On a German keyboard the combos are: CMD+Ä and CMD+Ö (yes, with the 'Umlaute') :) – gentmatt Jan 20 '12 at 19:26
I'm curious, are those located just above and to the left of the right shift key? – Nathan Greenstein♦ Jan 20 '12 at 19:27
Diagonal to the top left. So I guess it's the same location! – gentmatt Jan 20 '12 at 19:27
